Band Bio: Second Soul is modern hard rock by seasoned, professional musicians. The idea of the band was born after world-renown guitar virtuoso and music educator Troy Stetina met Mark Tremonti (Creed/Alter Bridge) in 2002. In the early 90s, Mark had been inspired by Troy’s classic “shredder Bible,” Speed Mechanics for Lead Guitar. After the two met through GuitarOne magazine, a friendship ensued and inspiration was repaid. As Troy coached Mark on lead guitar technique, Mark—the consummate rock songwriter—helped Troy with arrangements. And Troy was inspired to form a band. First on board was drummer Eddie Szczepanski, whose power grooves and technical mastery of progressive chops equaled Troy’s own abilities on the guitar. The duo tried several singers, but didn’t find the right combination until Scott Yanke joined in 2005. Just as the band was on the verge of a record deal, Troy’s personal life came to a crashing halt. But nothing lasts forever. They reformed in 2009 and decided to put the record out themselves, “self signed.”

After a series of Troy’s guitar workshops and band promo shows this fall, Second Soul is expected to tour beginning in early 2011. Watch for Troy's upcoming Fret12.com "Sound & Story" instructional DVD, which breaks down and teaches elements of six songs from "Beyond the Infinite."
